I clicked on Embaline (as a long-time box collector) and cleverly chose the British flag so I could read everything in English. As I waited for the next screen, a box exactly like Christopher Elbow's (He's that wonderful local chocolatier I've mentioned before) popped up and was called the Balzac. I began to read. Not surprisingly, the second heading was about Passion and know-how for creative products. Boy, do they mean PASSION! I quote:<BR/>"The promiscuity of the various workshops and the presence of a creation studio inside the places are also strong assets." Yes. Go read it yourself. <BR/>Perhaps you could institute a ratings system to warn faint-hearted, chocolate-loving, box-lovers what they are about to face.

Whenever I need a little Paris pick-me-up I visit your site. Thank goodness you're a frequent poster!<BR/><BR/>My Laduree box is one of my favorite Paris souvenirs. I love it, and it sits prominently on my shelves with a mini Eiffel Tower on top. But, I do also like my La Maison du Chocolat boxes--especially my Valentine's Day box from last year. It's been empty for a long time (of course!) but it's still on the shelf in my pantry that my eye falls on first. It's just that happy!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626706623891455872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-6806416301231419132008-02-20T10:11:00.000-05:002008-02-20T10:11:00.000-05:00Love the photo of the ballet slippers with the pin...Love the photo of the ballet slippers with the pink macarons and those gorgeous boxes.

Very smart marketing on their part. <BR/>What's meaning does a transparent empty box have once the macarons are gone? <BR/>None..<BR/>LADUREE is the master of French marketing magic in my opinion. <BR/>Even Pierre Herme's "petal" macaron box barely stays closed and is nothing to write home about, though it's got a nice clean lines and bright color.<BR/>Big woof <BR/>Simply not a "keeper".<BR/>HELLO ANYBODY Home PH?Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-89580155479946404412008-02-20T09:30:00.000-05:002008-02-20T09:30:00.000-05:00Nobody makes boxes like Laduree.

I have been writing a lot about not judging the book by the cover---but how a beautiful cover does attract more people to actually pick up the book. With Laduree the box seems to match the inner--or even enhance what is on inside.
